How to print a excel sheet with a filter

Hi
We have made a list for ordering some food. There are about 800 items and therefore we are using a filter not to print 24 pages. When we print the selected items it alwasy prints them on seperate pages as they are in the list, without the oter items. What can we do, that the list will be on one page after using the filter.
Thanks
Michael

RE: How to print a excel sheet with a filter

Hi Michael

Thank you for your question. I have tried to recreate the problem you are experiencing and the filtering and printing seems to be working as expected for me (ie the filtered rows are all adjacent to each other rather than spread over multiple pages).

There are a couple of things worth checking in your sheet:

Has a print area been set that is forcing more cells to be printed than you need? Take a look at the Page Layout tab and choose Print Area > Clear Print Area

The other place to check is if there are any unnecessary page breaks in your sheet. You can see page breaks by going to the View Ribbon then choose Page Break Preview (you may need to click OK to clear the introductory message dialogue box). The dotted blue lines on the page are automatically placed by Excel and indicate where the page breaks fall. You can click on these lines and drag them to re-position them to where the breaks should be. Drag any extra page-breaks out into the grey area surrounding your sheet to remove them.

Let me know if either of these helps in any way or if you are still having problems and I will look into this further for you.

Kind regards,

Andrew

Excel tip:

Change the Print button so it brings up the Print dialogue box

If you want to bring up the Print dialogue box to check your print settings when you hit the Print button, do the following:

1. Right-click on the toolbar that displays the Print button.

2. Select Customise.

3. Click on the Print button on the toolbar to select it, then hold the left mouse button down and drag the button towards the screen below. The button should come off the toolbar.

4. In the Customise dialogue box on your screen, select the Commands tab.

5. Select File from the Categories list, and then locate the Print... icon (looks like the normal Print button, but the word Print has three dots following it).

6. Click on the Print... icon to select it, then use your left mouse to drag and drop the icon onto the toolbar at the top of the screen.

7. Close the Customise dialogue box.
